NEW YORK AUDIO LABORATORIES
1980-1987

Time is the test of quality, and it appears that all
of NYAL products, from the $269 Super IT phono preamp, to the $12,000 Futterman
OTL-1 have become classics, and are in great demand because of their
extraordinary sound quality and reliability.

NYAL was just like a rock and roll band I assembled
a group of music maniacs who shared my vision and attitudes towards the design
of audio gear. The fact that we were working with one of America's great audio
masters, Julius Futterman, helped.

Our band's creed was ."Critical listening is
the only way to determine quality of engineering and we designed some
of the most sophisticated tube audio circuits ever developed".

All of our products were tube circuits, even our amplifiers
that had transistor output stages, MOSCODES, had tube input stages, because
there is no other way to capture the essence of music.

Members of the band included: Ted Hammond, who did
the development work on the Futterman OTL, John Syder who did much of the
development work on the preamps, George Kaye did the development work on the
Moscodes, and Andy Fuchs, a great audio "enginear", lent us his ears.

All of the NYAL products were manufactured by AFP
Imaging, a large, and public, medical electronics company which explains
the quality of their construction.

The reason NYAL ceased operation is directly related
to a failed IPO due to the 1987 stock marketing crash. I paid off all of the
NYAL debts and ceased operation. George Kaye continued to service the NYAL
products.

I left some disgruntled customers some had subscribed
to THE QUAD OWNERS CLUB NEWSLETTER, and did not receive their full subscription.
